For the Vista User: Is this enough?
Yes. I'm wondering....
Is my current get-up enough for keeping my comp safe? --PC Doctor-- :Anti Virus (Free Version) --Spyware Doctor-- :Spyware protection (Standard Version that comes with the Google Pack.) --Iobit Advanced WindowsCare Personal-- :Overall clean up, and apparently removes Spyware and Adware and protects against it.. --Windows Defender and Firewall-- :My firewall, obviously... Am I safe? Point blank. |

To improve on the software choices you've made, see these recommendations. Get rid of Windows Firewall and replace it with a proper one that monitors BOTH inbound and outgoing traffic. Keep your security programs up to date, run them regularly and practise safe surfing. Can't do much more than that.

Re: For the Vista User: Is this enough?
If you want to be more closer to 100% safe, you would need to be using a NAT router (firewall) along with extra's as mentioned above. But as aforementioned, that does depend on your habits and the places you visit too.
